Muscle car GT hood for a 68 C10 issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi,
I recently purchased a new hood from a vendor for my 68 C10. It came in a MuscleCar GT box and after test fitting I noticed that the hood kinks near the hinge area. The hinges are not binding and there is no unusual amount of effort required to open or close it, but this is causing a dent at both sides where the hinges are. Anybody have this issue with this brand? The sheet metal seems too thin compared to the oe hood and I don't want to diss the vendor but I don't feel the quality of the part is very good. I have used the apex and triplus stuff with good results but have never seen this brand. What do you think the vendor should do?
